Majesty Snowbird by Sufjan Stevens
Majesty Snowbird
Tuning: Standard
This is the part which is played initially by the piano, then the trumpet and finally
it's the guitar solo towards the end. They are all pretty much the exact same thing so I
will tab it once here so you can do what you like with it. It's always played when the chords are F Am G G

Intro
F Am G G x8
[Verse]
F C Am D
Rain bird, laughing in the olive tree, la la dee dah
F C Am D
Colored shirt, with the alabaster altarpiece, you made for me
F C
Summer sweet, some forgiven
Am D F
Your advice is all that seems to matter much to me
C Am D
Call it sweet, call it something paradise
[Chorus]
F C Am D
Is it the right word you designed for me?
F C Am D
Is it the broken word or good advice i need?
F C Am D
Is the half as sweet set aside for me?
F C Am D
Is it mysterious? is it something ripe and sweet?
F Am G G x4
[Verse - F C Am D]
Snowbird, your sister said she needed me, la la dee dah
Show them first, show them what you did for me, la la dee dah
Quiet sound, and little soldier sent beneath
And epaulets that covered every shoulder
Call it sweet come take
Forget the things I said, to please
[Chorus - F C Am D]
Is it the right word you designed for me?
Is it the broken word or good advice i need?
Is the tapestry set beneath my wings?
Is it mysterious, glorious? Indeed.
F Am G G x4

Don’t stop, don’t break. You can delight because you have a place
Don’t stop, don’t break. You can delight because you have a place
Don’t stop, don’t break. You can delight because you have a place
Don’t stop, don’t break. You can delight because you have a place
(slower)
Don’t stop, don’t break. You can delight because you have a place
Quiet room, i need you now…
